Frequently asked questions
about financing for consumer brands

What is eCommerce financing?

eCommerce financing provides working capital to help online businesses fund inventory, manage cash flow, and scale operations. It’s designed to support the unique timing of eCommerce, where inventory is purchased upfront and revenue is collected later through marketplaces or direct sales.

Who is eligible for eCommerce financing?

We work with direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, marketplace sellers, and multi-channel businesses across industries such as apparel, beauty, electronics, home goods, and more.

How is eCommerce financing different from a traditional loan?

Unlike traditional loans, eCommerce financing is typically asset-based — using inventory or receivables to determine borrowing capacity. This allows funding to scale with your business and provides more flexibility than fixed loan structures.

What can I use the financing for?

You can use funding to:
• Purchase inventory or replenish top-selling SKUs
• Support product launches and new SKUs
• Bridge marketplace or wholesale payment delays
• Fund marketing campaigns and promotions
• Cover fulfillment, warehousing, and logistics costs
• Manage seasonal demand and rapid growth

Can this help with marketplace payment delays (Amazon, Shopify, etc.)?

Yes. Financing can help bridge the gap between when sales occur and when funds are received from marketplaces or payment processors, improving cash flow consistency.

How does inventory financing (Liquid Inventory) work?

Liquid Inventory provides a revolving line of credit secured by your inventory. You can draw funds to purchase or replenish stock and repay as inventory converts to sales, helping you stay in stock without tying up cash.

Can financing help me avoid stockouts?

Yes. Access to working capital allows you to purchase inventory ahead of demand, maintain optimal stock levels, and reduce the risk of lost sales due to stockouts.

Will I need to give up equity?

No. Our financing solutions are non-dilutive, so you retain full ownership and control of your business.

Will financing impact my customer or marketplace relationships?

No. Many solutions are structured to work behind the scenes, allowing you to maintain direct relationships with your customers, marketplaces, and partners.

Can financing scale as my business grows?

Yes. As your sales, inventory, and receivables increase, your borrowing capacity can grow alongside your business, providing ongoing access to working capital.
